Unit 57 at 518 Orange St in New Haven, Connecticut is a well-appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence situated on a single floor. The open layout connects the living area directly to the kitchen, which features contemporary grey gloss upper cabinetry, warm wood-toned open shelving, white lower cabinets, white quartz countertops, a stone tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a gas range, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Rich, dark-stained hardwood floors run throughout the living spaces and both bedrooms, providing a warm contrast to the bright white walls and crisp trim work. Each bedroom is well-sized with natural light from framed windows; one bedroom offers a treetop view of the surrounding New Haven neighborhood.

Classic architectural details such as substantial baseboards and window casings complement the updated interior throughout.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
